The most interesting abandoned places in Novosibirsk. Are there abandoned villages in the NSO? The most famous abandoned place in Novosibirsk

And despite his young age, yet some things in it remain in the same place. For example, abandoned buildings abandoned by people and left to fend for themselves.

Many historians and stalkers still discover buildings built in the pre-revolutionary period. Magically, these houses stand untouched by bulldozers, but do not have their marks on the maps. This is the real historical value of the city, which, in the near future, can be completely lost if the authorities do not take control of these buildings.

The most famous abandoned place in Novosibirsk

Most of the Novosibirsk abandoned objects have either been demolished (like the well-known mental hospital with its secret underground passages), or are popular not only with local stalkers, but also with airsoft fans, as well as vandals. Every year, the state of unique and historically interesting objects is deteriorating. Therefore, many researchers do not disclose passwords and appearances of abandoned places in Novosibirsk. However, there are places that are known to all residents of the city, for example, an abandoned unfinished building near the Marx Square metro station.

The longest construction site in Novosibirsk, which is no less than 46 years old, is the Tourist Hotel, whose windows gaping with emptiness go straight to Karl Marx Square - the central part of the left bank. This long-term construction will stand for many more years, as the restoration or demolition of the object will cost the city a lot of money.

1968 marked the beginning of the construction of a twenty-story prestigious hotel. The abandoned object was supposed to contain up to 800 rooms. For many years the hotel has been surrounded by a fence, but getting into the territory is not difficult. This abandoned object of Novosibirsk stands out very well against the backdrop of the Festival shopping center, built right next to the Soviet giant from the past. Sad cases associated with the "Tourist" are also known, such as falling from a height. At one time, the roof of the hotel was used by lovers of base jumping (jumping on a rope). At the moment, the unfinished one continues to sleep in eternal sleep, looking at the city with his languid gaze.

"Dark" tower of the city

The abandoned strange tower is actually a water tower. If you go by train passing through the Oktyabrsky district of the city, you can see a small abandoned castle, as the tower looks like the ruins of an ancient palace of the Art Nouveau era. The brick object was built at the beginning of the 20th century, around 1910. The remnant of the Tsarist Empire with a symbolic crown on its roof in the form of a tree. The entrance has been boarded up for a long time.

This abandoned place in Novosibirsk can be found 500 meters from the Novosibirsk-Yuzhny railway station. The station itself, by the way, is also an object of the reign of Nicholas II. In those years, it was called the Novonikolaevsk station, and the paths of this territory belonged to the Altai railway. You can find it at the intersection of Communist and Dekabristov streets in the Oktyabrsky district in Novosibirsk. The abandoned place on the maps is not marked as a tower.

Area of ​​lost ships

For the inhabitants, Zaton has always had a bad reputation. But this is where the graveyard of ships is located. The place itself is a small island, to which several roads lead. Densely moored rusty barges are piled up so that they can be walked to the main dump.

Sometimes there are warning signs "No Passage", and if someone is seen by a local watchman, then get ready to immediately go home. To get on an unauthorized tour of the old river barges, ships and hold an original photo session, you need to get to the street. Portovoy, in the Leninsky district.

One of the interesting parts that make up the list of abandoned buildings is given to the former summer camps. "Vostok-2" was founded with the support and assistance of the Siberian Research Institute of Aviation. S. A. Chaplygin. The camp is located thirty kilometers from the city.

The stronghold of pioneer childhood is located in the deep part of the local forest belt. When the Union collapsed, in 1991, like many other camps in the country, Vostok was closed and left to fend for itself. All camp buildings were erected on one floor, wooden houses.

Now the main building stands in a half-hearted form, part of it was dismantled, and part remained. It was here that evening concerts were held and there was a dining room. The sleeping quarters are in no less deplorable condition. Three buildings with completely rotten floors. Also, vegetable storage facilities, a common shower room and small storage rooms have been preserved on the territory. The camp also has its own water tower, of course, also abandoned. By the way, the pioneer camp got its name from the Vostok-2 spacecraft, a monument to which is located in the central part of the abandoned facility.

An interesting fact is that an active camp coexists comfortably next to this place. Therefore, the former pioneer camps are one of the most interesting abandoned places in Novosibirsk. The address can be found at the coordinates: 55°0"41"N 83°20"13"E.

It makes no sense to hide the fact that abandoned villages and other settlements are the object of research for many people who are passionate about treasure hunting (and not only) people. There is also a place for lovers of attic search to roam, and “ring out” the basements of abandoned houses, explore wells, and more. etc. Of course, the likelihood that your colleagues or local residents have visited this locality before you is very high, but, nevertheless, there are no “knocked out places”.


Causes that lead to the depopulation of villages

Before starting the enumeration of the reasons, I would like to dwell on the terminology in more detail. There are two concepts - abandoned settlements and disappeared settlements.

Disappeared settlements - geographical objects, today, completely ceased to exist due to military operations, man-made and natural disasters, time. In the place of such points, one can now observe a forest, a field, a pond, anything, but not standing abandoned houses. This category of objects is also interesting for treasure hunters, but now we are not talking about them.

Abandoned villages just belong to the category of abandoned settlements, i.e. settlements, villages, farms, etc., abandoned by the inhabitants. Unlike the disappeared settlements, the abandoned ones for the most part retain their architectural appearance, buildings and infrastructure, i.e. are in a state close to the time when the settlement was abandoned. So people left, why? The decline in economic activity that we can see now, when people from the villages tend to move to the city; wars; disasters of a different nature (Chernobyl and its environs); other conditions that make living in this region inconvenient, unprofitable.

How to find abandoned villages?

Naturally, before heading off headlong to the search site, it is necessary to prepare a theoretical base, in simple terms, to calculate these very supposed places. A number of specific sources and tools will help us with this.

To date, one of the most accessible and sufficiently informative sources is Internet:

The second fairly popular and accessible source These are conventional topographic maps. It would seem, how can they be useful? Yes, very simple. Firstly, both tracts and non-residential villages have already been marked on the fairly well-known maps of the General Staff. It is important to understand one thing here, that the tract is not only an abandoned settlement, but simply any part of the area that is different from the rest of the surrounding areas. And yet, there may not be any village on the site of the tract for a long time, well, nothing, walk around with a metal detector among the pits, collect metal debris, and then you look and get lucky. With non-residential villages, too, not everything is simple. They may turn out to be not entirely uninhabited, but used, say, as dachas or may be inhabited illegally. In this case, I see no reason to do anything, no one needs problems with the law, and the local population can be quite aggressive.

If we compare the same map of the General Staff and a more modern atlas, we can notice some differences. For example, there was a village in the forest at the General Staff, a road led to it, and suddenly the road disappeared on a more modern map, most likely, the inhabitants left the village and began to bother with road repairs, etc.

The third source is local newspapers, local population, local museums. Communicate more with the natives, there will always be interesting topics for conversation, and in the meantime you can ask about the historical past of this region. What can the locals say? Yes, a lot of things, the location of the estate, the manor's pond, where there are abandoned houses or even abandoned villages, etc.

Local media is also a fairly informative source. Especially now even the most provincial newspapers are trying / trying to get their own website, where they diligently post individual notes or even entire archives. Journalists go to many places on their business, interview, including old-timers, who like to mention various interesting facts in the course of their stories.

Do not hesitate to go to provincial local history museums. Not only are their expositions often interesting, but a museum employee or guide can also tell you a lot of interesting things.

completely abandoned villages are interested!?

Kuroshup 13-03-2011 09:24

At the entrance to Iskitim there is an abandoned unfinished hospital of 5-6 floors. You can climb there too. it is more difficult with villages, abandoned houses are quickly dismantled, only memories remain of the village in the form of pits from cellars, front gardens and nettles. If they remain at home somewhere, then this is only because a peasant with a pull can not get there.

closer to Altai, there are many abandoned villages, but there are not many in the NSO, well, or I don’t know ...

Umbert 13-03-2011 11:41

here the topic was about the old NSO maps. we open them, compare them with new ones, we are surprised. my favorite hunting grounds used to be inhabited much more seriously ... another thing is that there really is nothing left ....
and many more ruffled villages in the Altai. in the region of the river I saw 1 reed (and I stumbled upon it when I got lost on horseback), 1 more on the Uba River ... there are a lot of them everywhere ...

can you send me a link in a PM? Thank you!

According to the maps of the General Staff, type in Yandex or Google to download the maps of the General Staff for JPS for free without registration "be sure to put it down for free because many offer for money. There is one thing, but if you use them in the JPS, be sure to correct it otherwise with the native binding files, the real place will not match the place on the map, this is apparently a defense against the Chinese or Pindos - if they attack, they will immediately get lost.
I bothered with anchor points for a long time, it turned out to be easier, the coordinate grid drawn on the maps coincides with the real coordinates.
These cards really help! Once I had to drive twice as far along the asphalt from Karasuk to Kuibyshev at night, there would not be enough gasoline.
If you can't find it by searching, knock, let's look together

Two dozen settlements in the Novosibirsk region have been erased from maps and atlases over the past five years. Villages disappear from the face of the earth due to lack of work, schools, hospitals, shops and remoteness from large cities. But sometimes already empty settlements get a new life - summer residents, farmers and other enthusiasts settle in them. The correspondent of Sibkrai.ru visited the village of Tropino, Kochenevsky district, and found out what brings people to abandoned places on the edge of the bus route network, and how they manage to revive the region abandoned by the indigenous people.

There are 1518 different villages, villages, settlements and settlements in the Novosibirsk region. Less than 50 people live in 339 of them, and no one is left in 56. If no one lives in the village for a long time, the settlement is abolished. So, only dots on old maps over the past five years have left 20 settlements in the Novosibirsk region alone. The farther villages are from big cities, transport hubs and shops, the faster people leave them.

But some settlements are lucky: at first they are empty, the indigenous people leave them, but then others come. Summer residents. Most often, summer residents stay in the village only for the summer, but some then move permanently. It was this fate that befell the village of Tropino in the Kochenevsky district of the Novosibirsk region.

From the district center to the village a little less than 30 kilometers. In the district center you can buy groceries and basic necessities. Of course, all this is also available in the neighboring village of Shagalovo, but there, as the residents assure, the prices are “country”, that is, several times higher than usual. At the Shagalovsky village council, to which the village belongs, in Tropino they swear, but more out of habit. Both the village and the village council eventually became completely indifferent to each other.

“Broken roads, people are leaving, there are no jobs. There are no indigenous people left in this village - only two grandmothers and two grandfathers, summer residents and that's all, - Tatyana Shabanova, deputy head of the Shagalovsky village council, justifies herself. - Should we, perhaps, keep them with something, when the administration has no money for anything? Here soon the administration will be closed, there will be nothing. They don’t give salaries for six months, who will work here?”

Tropino has only two streets, no more than two dozen houses and nettles taller than human height. The summer residents who replaced the residents who left the village settled on the main street, it is called River. One of the few signs of civilization here is a payphone, reminiscent of the last century. It was placed in the village in 2002, because, as the locals say, "Putin ordered it."

In summer the village lives, but in winter and autumn only the most persistent remain here. One of them is Tatyana Afonskaya. Her house stands almost at the very beginning of the street, surrounded by a wooden fence, rickety in places. She is sure that there are few interesting things in the village, but she likes living here. Behind the fence is a small garden with a vegetable garden and a mountain of firewood - there is no electricity in the village.

“You can only complain that they didn’t make the way for us. I have been living here since 1990, but I took it as a dacha. So you can already consider an old-timer, - the woman says. - We had a native grandmother, over there the last house burned down. Just sold - and burned. And she herself went to the city to her daughter, she was already 94, old, it’s still hard, but she came to the dacha all the time, for the whole summer.

In place of the former home of the last native inhabitant, there are now weeds and the same ubiquitous nettle. After some time, it begins to seem that it was not a weed that grew in the place where people once lived, but strong and not very houses appeared in the place where these nettle thickets have always been.

“I lived in Krakhalevka, and it is very difficult for us to meet in the Kochenevsky district. You will stop by Kochenevo - wait for the next bus, it is still not known how to get to the next village. Therefore, when summer residents were here, they freed themselves, she dragged me here. And now side by side, we can at least see each other. We have such a very simple life, - says Svetlana Khoroshilova. - But you can’t buy bread, you have to go specially, there is no shop here, there is no electricity in this village. When it's muddy and dark here in autumn, we can't get our village soviet to see light through. Literally two years they began to clear the snow in winter, and before that they had never been cleared, we made our own way, made paths.”


Svetlana Khoroshilova breeds livestock. During the conversation, the dog Tisha barks from behind her, besides him, she has four hens and a cat. Hens lay eggs, and their woman would like to keep more. “But four is good. And you can have breakfast with eggs, and leave it on the dough. We are not picky people. What we have, we endure. And keeping livestock is very difficult, I will be 82 years old this year,” she notes.

There is no work in the village, besides how to run the household. As a result, almost the entire population in Tropino is of retirement age.

“My son lives alone with me, and the second one lives in Kochenevo. There is no work for either of them. They used to take a taxi to work, it's also hard. If you go there, you won't come back. This is our whole life,” Khoroshilova calmly explains and adds. “In general, of course, there is no life.”

For food and pensions, local residents go to Kochenevo, the regional center. The bus runs twice a day, morning and evening, but getting on it is not so easy. As Svetlana Khoroshilova explains, the residents of Tropino are not welcome there: “The bus started running badly - very early and does not take us all, because it is packed there, and we are the last station, and we don’t get in. The old women generally growl at us there - “why are you driving, would you sit at home, pensioners!” Well, as it should. Sometimes you have to go."

“In Kochenevo we receive a pension, we also go shopping there. What we take, we bring here by car. There is flour, bread, sugar, chicken meat, and we don’t buy anything else. The pension is small, increased only because I turned 80 years old. There was a pension of about nine thousand, now you can’t buy anything with it at all. And now I have like 15, - Svetlana Khoroshilova notes. - Of course, at my age, getting to the road and getting there is very difficult. And no one comes to us, we only provide for ourselves. I got older, I got more money. Now at least there is enough food. And the products are getting more expensive, we take in bulk: a jar of butter, five to ten kilograms of flour, yeast. After all, you don’t go every time for bread, then rain, then mud.

Only five houses remain to spend the winter in houses without electricity and communications. In addition to the sisters Svetlana and Tatyana, the headman of the village and two families, the Kamenevs and the Blinovs, remain for the winter. This year, two more will join the winterers - a “pensioner”, as Svetlana Khoroshilova affectionately calls her distant neighbor, and Alexander Kuzin, who came to build his farm.

“I go to the library all the time – I read books. My sister bought herself an electronic one, it went bad, we can’t fix it. You see how everything is done with us, not for people. If there is money, then, of course, something can be done. But we don’t have enough of them, and we always lack them,” the pensioner tells about the winter life.

The payphone, which stands in splendid isolation on the main street, is not used by the villagers: you need to buy a special card, which is enough for several calls.

“It is not profitable for us, although Putin made us telephones for these villages. You can’t call a cell phone, but where will you be, where, who has a phone at home now? Now almost no one has, rarely anyone has a home phone, - explains Svetlana Khoroshilova. - Therefore, when cell phones appeared, he was no longer needed. And when there was nothing, he was profitable. Bought a card, even called several times. And so everything is fine with us. We have nothing to complain about. After all, they chose where to live.”

The only person in the village who is younger than retirement age is Alexander Kuzin. The man came from Kazakhstan, quit his job, bought a house on the very edge of the village and decided to run his own household. He has 300 grown goslings, which he plans to sell later.

“The most important thing is to grow, and sell - it would be something to sell,” the man assures. - There is a river nearby, there is land. You can develop the land, plant something, vegetables. Real, not on any chemistry. Now on the Internet they love homemade food very much, they try to buy everything natural, without any pesticides, so that it all grows natural. So this is a home farm.

While the goslings are growing, the novice farmer equips the house and makes further plans on how to expand the farm. His house is made of concrete blocks, there is no bed in it yet, so Alexander Kuzin sleeps on a mattress.

"It's only begining. So far so - Spartan conditions, but nothing, I'm not complaining. It's good here - quiet, calm. Two rivers, Sharikha and Chik. Fishing: there is a good carp in the river, not large, but a good carp. Now people will start to rise - everyone will go to the villages, - says Alexander Kuzin. - The city with its dirty air, with its troubles ... But it's good in the countryside. I grew my own potatoes, I grew my own carrots, my own meat. Here I found two thousand goats in Kochenevo, the money will come to the card - I will take the goats, I will have my own milk. It will be hard to keep a cow alone, but a goat needs a little grass, and she will not run far. The goat can be tied to a rope, and let it stand. You can live, and everything is natural.

Nature in Tropino is also praised by other residents. Kochenevsky district is not rich in forests, its beauty lies in the fields stretching beyond the horizon and open spaces. “The view from here is very good. So let's go out, sit down with my sister on a bench, there is beauty around! – says Svetlana Khoroshilova.

NOVOSIBIRSK, December 17 - RIA Novosti, Elena Zhukova. The authorities talk about the senseless spending of funds on providing communal benefits to sparsely populated villages and maintaining roads to them, but residents refuse to move from there. RIA Novosti correspondents went to one of these villages in Novosibirsk, where seven people live, and asked the inhabitants - what is the reason for the reluctance to move to more civilized places.

In the footsteps of Stolypin: a collective farm of a new format near NovosibirskAlexander Leuchtling created an agricultural enterprise that does not depend on the price of grain and meat, nor on government and bank loans. And also, along the way, he returned the dying village of Ukrainka to the map of the region.

The village of Berezovka is located in the Bolotninsky district of the Novosibirsk region. This is 160 kilometers from Novosibirsk and ten from the nearest settlement, the village of Acha.

This is just such a settlement, about the persistence of the inhabitants of which the governor of the region recently spoke. According to him, the government is ready to help people move out of dying villages. This will be economically beneficial for the local budget, since the need to support the life of small villages will be removed, and it will ultimately be more convenient for people in more developed villages.

“And one family says: I won’t go anywhere. It’s probably possible to just take and make a decision, but it’s not right ...”, Vasily Yurchenko gave an example at a recent press conference.

And in total in the Novosibirsk region, according to the data at the beginning of the year, there are about 140 villages in which less than 20 people live. And most people, especially pensioners, do not want to leave their usual places.

Born and married here

We stop in Berezovka: there is not a soul on the snow-covered Central Street. Near one of the houses there is a payphone and the only lamp in the village. The locals joke that if it were not for him, the village would not be visible in the evenings. The village is four houses. No shop, no pharmacy.

But seven residents of Berezovka are quite used to doing without it. And the proposals of the Achinsk village council to move to Acha are regularly refused.

“The only thing left is what they couldn’t make out. And before there was a big farm here,” says Elena Eisner, pointing to a metal frame in the middle of a field near the village. Elena works as the head of the post office in the village of Acha, Bolotninsky District, and brings pensions and food for her parents and father-in-law to her mother-in-law to her native Berezovka.

Together with Elena, we go to her parents, Sergei Efimovich and Faina Vasilievna Malinovsky, who live in a house right at the entrance to the village. The house is solid - a large kitchen with a Russian stove, two spacious rooms.

“No, we won’t go. We’ll live here. But what to do there, I don’t like it there. I have lived here for 57 years, why do I need that Acha, or Elfimovka or Sosnovka,” says Faina Vasilievna.

She came to Berezovka from Vladimirovskaya Oblast in 1956 after a technical school to work as a livestock specialist. Here she met her husband - she was driving in the evening from the milking from a neighboring village, and Sergei Efimovich was returning in a timber truck and gave a ride to the girl. Since then, they have been living together in Berezovka.

Sergey Efimovich proudly says that he was born in Berezovka, and during the first census, which was carried out before the war, 80 people lived in Acha, and more than 400 in Berezovka.

He recalls that at that time immigrants from Belarus came to the village, they received land here on which it was possible to grow grain and livestock. For a long time the village prospered - there was not only a large collective farm, but every family kept cattle for themselves.

“There was such a queue to hand over to the meat processing plant in Bolotny, that we took the bulls to hand over to Novosibirsk to the meat processing plant, we did not have time to process here - all the shops, counters, everything was littered with meat and sausage. came, they loaded everything and took it to Novosibirsk,” recalls Sergey Efimovich.

First they broke the school...

According to him, the village began to die after the school was broken - this happened in the 1970s. Children began to be transported from Berezovka to neighboring Acha, they grew up and began to move there or to large cities - Novosibirsk and Yurga. After some time, the village club was also closed - a place where dances were once held and films were shown.

But the biggest blow to the village, adds Faina Vasilievna, was inflicted during perestroika, when they began to reduce the number of livestock. Gradually, the large farm died, and with it there was no work and prospects for the village.

The couple sigh, remembering their own household. They say that they haven't seen their district police officer for ten years, and they don't even know his name. Therefore, they stopped even keeping sheep - visiting "guest performers" stole them, and the elderly could not protect their property in any way. But they repeat that they will not leave here anyway.

All children bring

The next house down Central Street is a semi-detached and well-maintained one. It has water, heating and a bath. In one of the apartments lives an elderly man, a former cattleman. But he did not want to communicate, did not even open the gate. He recently buried his wife and, as the neighbors explain, now he is better off alone.

And the neighbors are Vasily Avgustovich and Nina Nikolaevna Eisner, Elena's father-in-law and mother-in-law. They moved into this house about six years ago, when there were no neighbors left on the street where they used to live.

“And what will I do in Acha? I’m used to this land, I climbed into such an apartment - all the amenities. But in Acha they won’t give you one,” says Vasily Avgustovich.

He came to the village as a child - in 1941, with his German parents, he was evacuated here from the Volga region.

Nina Nikolaevna agrees with her husband. According to her, she is not at all bored in the village, despite the absence of a shop, a club and other establishments common to settlements. Children and grandchildren do not forget, they regularly bring food, newspapers, medicines.

“Berezovka! What kind of people lived here, friendly, hard-working, I want to cry. Not like now. We are afraid - rather (the door) on the hook,” Nina Nikolaevna sighs, but shakes her head negatively when asked about the move.

“If there was a rich man, he would upset Berezovka and people would come running,” Vasily Avgustovich sighs.

Neighbor Olga Litvinova comes to visit the Eisner spouses - she and her husband Vasily are the only residents of Berezovka who have not yet reached retirement age. Neighborhood gatherings, along with watching TV, which only shows five channels, are a popular pastime here.

With your horse

Olga, having discovered journalists, invites her to her place. Her house is on the outskirts, at the end of the street. On the way we pass a water tower, which provides water to the inhabitants, the building of a closed, or rather, collapsed club, and nothing else, the rest is wastelands.

They live with her husband mainly at the expense of the household - they have cows, pigs, rabbits, chickens, a horse - as a means of transport. In summer, a garden. Therefore, the main products are provided, the rest is bought in Ache, selling meat.

“We don’t live in a big way, but we have enough,” says Olga. According to her, in such a sparsely populated village it is not scary, on the contrary, there is no one else, peace and quiet.

And she does not see any special benefits from moving to Acha. “You can’t buy medicine in Acha, recently a tooth got sick, we arrived in Acha, and there’s not even analgin, I had to be treated almost like a flower, folk remedies. Olga says.

Therefore, like the old-timers of the village, neither Olga nor her husband are going to leave Berezovka - they believe that it will not be better anywhere else.
